Situated in the heart of the picturesque hamlet of Les Milandes, next door to the fabulous château, the house was previously owned by the humanitarian and singer Josephine Baker.
The cottage “Arc en Ciel” was part of her Global Village and provided additional accommodation for the 12 children, family and friends of the Rainbow Tribe, when the chateau became too small!

Guestbook
 | Fabuleux séjour, dans un lieu idéalement placé : à moins de 20 min de voiture il y’a tant à faire ! Merveilleuse région et cet endroit en est le cœur. Nous recommandons ! |
| Most of the best places to visit are in close proximity to this property: Sarlat, Beynac, Castelnaud, Marqueyssac, Domme, the river Dordogne etc and its fairly centrally placed between Lascaux to the north and Rocamadour to the south east, so excellent for those 'must see' places too. Of course, Chateau des Milandes makes a stunning backdrop, being just 20 metres away and it's well worth a visit. The gite was ideal for us: two bedrooms, each with an ensuite. We have two children so they had their room and we had ours. The bathrooms are excellent, the beds comfortable and there's plenty of space in the kitchen/diner. The pool is good and the garden is pretty. We made use of the patio and BBQ area, of course. The village is peaceful and the surrounding countryside is gorgeous. Thank you. We had a lovely time. Your property is charming and if only it had been possible to stay longer... |
| We had a wonderful stay. Rosemary communicated well with us and was very friendly. The house was clean and well kept. The swimming pool was cleaned every day. The location is very peaceful and the views fabulous. On starry nights it was great to sit out on the terrace and star gaze ( no background lights to spoil the night sky) . Lots to do in the area. We got season tickets to visit Chateau des Milandes so we could go in and out when we felt like it. There is a bistro and falconry displace a few times a day. Lots of castles, caves, gardens and walks in the area. We had a fabulous holiday |
| Our fourth visit to Les MIlandes and once again everything was perfect. The recent upgrades within the Arc en Ciel property have been done extremely well and add to the experience. On this occasion we found two new restaurants as well as again enjoying the canoe trip, local markets and relaxing on the terrace. A perfect location for both families and couples. Highly recommended. |
| Nous avons beaucoup apprécié nos vacances à L'Arc en Ciel - les meubles et équipements de cet hébergement sont de très bonne qualité ; la sérénité et le calme correspondaient parfaitement à nos besoins, et les vues étaient sensationnelles. Nous nous sentions chez nous. Nous attendons le plaisir de revenir. |
